Good news. For US customers, Google just provided an email saying that the Nexus 4 will be available for purchase on 12:00 noon PST today. There is also a set limit to 2 Nexus devices per Google account set up to prevent wholesale purchasing by resellers.

I've been pretty calm about how poorly this release has been handled so far, but if people that place orders today get their phones before my backordered nexus 4 is in my hands I'm going to nerd rage pretty hard
